Pretorian Smoothie 75 & 125 Assistive Switches

The Pretorian Smoothie 75 and Smoothie 125 Assistive Switches provide an accessible, ultra-low-profile way to operate compatible switch-controlled equipment. Their very low operating force makes them particularly suitable for people who can apply only light pressure or who find firmer switches tiring or difficult to activate.

The switch surface is angled towards the user and sits just 10mm above the desk at its lowest point. With no surrounding flange to obstruct access, a hand can approach the operating surface directly or rest on the desk before rolling gently forwards to activate the switch.

The entire coloured surface can be pressed, providing tactile confirmation when the switch has been activated. Two diameter options allow the target area to be matched to the user’s movement, positioning and accuracy.
